CarryOn.com – Let he who is without sin cast the first stoneApplication Definition Statement – iPhone 2009
June 3, 2010 at 1:42 am · Filed under Programming
Don’t just list a bunch of features, your goal in starting a iPhone application is to define a solution, not a collection of features.
There are 3 parts to a ADS: Your differentiators, Your Solution, Your audience.
Identify audience, iPhoto for desktop, sample ADS:
Easy to use digital photo editing, organizing, and sharing for casual and amateur photographers. Three solutions.
Take in account the UI, as programming doesn’t translate from the desktop to iPhone. Think making it “finger friendly” The UI is designer for a finger about 44×44 pixels vs. 1×1 for the desktop mouse.

In my training, I kept hearing about K & R
October 20, 2008 at 11:54 am · Filed under Programming
This is what is bad with acronmys, people use them Thinking you know what in the world they are talking about.
After 5 hours of listening, by mistake I google something on pointers, and then I see “K&R” in one of descriptions, it was like wow, I can find this.
Dating back to 1978.
The first edition of the book, published in 1978, was the first widely available book on the C programming language, written by the language’s creators. Written in conjunction with the language’s early development at AT&T Bell Labs, the version of C described in this book is sometimes referred to as K&R C (after the book’s authors), often to distinguish this early version from the later version of C standardized as ANSI C.[1]
A lot of pain and suffering for something the author assumed I knew and didn’t put in the glossary.

C++ Programming
October 19, 2008 at 8:02 pm · Filed under Programming
Learning C++ and there are many things about C that are way different than I learned about Pascal and Visual Basic 6.
Much more flexible to program in than VB.
Learning the basics on how Scope, Headers and declaration in different c files. It could lead to many issue’s if you are not careful.
In writing this blog entry, I am having problems of thinking of something to write that would be INTERESTING. 
I do not think that is possible, what is interesting is writing about what programmers produce with the code. Which at this point is nothing for me.
More later.

Powerloc jointing sand, locking in pavers
July 13, 2008 at 8:34 pm · Filed under Construction
Fixing up our home this year, as we are preparing to sell it, I have read many magazines, The Old House being one of them, the coolest part of the magazine is not the articles, it is the ads.
The Old House magazine has a article on how to hang a US flag pole, at first I thought wow, there must be a trick to hanging one so I read the article within 10 seconds, I thought to myself, you have to be kidding, that is all the editors could come up with. It was labeled “EASY PROJECT” the label should of been “Stupid Project”. My belief is this article should have been labeled advertorial for americanflags.org and not a real story, who cares anyway. The only thing of POSSIBLE value was the tip to use caulking in the holes before putting in the screws.
The neatest ad that I saw was for Quikrete.com jointing sand, which will be really nice to repair parts of our driveway that is falling apart. Quikrete even has a short 1-2 minute video on using the Powerloc sand.
I will need a little luck to do this project as no keyboard or mouse is being used to make the pavers and sand go in place and look good .
Check out Quikrete.com website if this interests you.

Linksys Router upgrade?
April 21, 2008 at 4:47 pm · Filed under Gadget
While researching the best router to buy for a customer, I came across this:
Right now I would suggest the Linksys WRT56GL. Since its firmware is GPL, you can get one of several, free alternative firmwares that give you an incredible control over your router. OpenWRT, HyperWRT and DD-wrt are some of the most popular right now.
(The WRT54GL is essntially a re-branded WRT54G. In the latest hardware revision, Linksys has altered the platform of the WRT54G so that it no longer supports the GPL’d firmware. The GL is a previous hardware revision and still supports the open firmware.)
Sounds pretty cool, EXCEPT for the “brick” effect, you will waste the $70 on the router if the firmware update fails. Brick = Dead = Won’t Work = Never Work Again.

Why Microsoft wanted a deal FAST for Yahoo
April 15, 2008 at 7:26 pm · Filed under Business
Search advertisers on Yahoo grew a robust 57 percent. Ooops Microsoft offer was truely low. Microsoft is wrong.
Google grew only at about half that rate.
That meant Google’s total share of search ad dollars declined slightly to 70.4 percent, while Yahoo’s rose to 24.2 percent.
Microsoft’s declined to 5.4 percent.
Which means Microsoft will have to pay more for Yahoo now.

Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450
March 15, 2008 at 5:14 pm · Filed under Gadget
Cool keyboard with great scroll wheel. Please no comments from the anti microsoft folks.
To use the scroll wheel, you must you intellitype version 5.0 it is the last version that has “Microsoft Office Keyboard” listed.
If you don’t want/can’t downgrade to version 5.0 and you don’t mind losing the wheel, use “Digital Media Pro” and you will have all functions except the scroll wheel. It does work and that is what I am using. Though now, I am going to dig for a copy of the intellitype 5.0 cd somewhere.
To get it to work on Microsoft Vista takes some work.
Same problem with Office Keyboard on Vista.
Now the wheel is working after forcing the installation of IntelliType Pro 5.0 (old version).
- Unzip ITP5_0Fra.exe (direct execution not possible on Vista.)
- In property of \ITP_0Fra\IType\Setup.exe, set Compatibility mode = Win2000
- Lauch this Setup (not the \ITP_0Fra\Setup.exe !)
- In C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliType Pro, set Compatibility mode = Win2000 for ALL the exe.
Only problem, there is an error message when trying to access to the configuration of the keyboard in Control Panel (RunDll32…). But at least all the keys are working (Cut, Past, Copy, Web… and wheel). The english and french version 5.0 both work.
